the republican governor of indiana. >> for two more months. >> stephen: previously director of office of management and budget under george bush. senior advisor to reagan, you've been around for a long time, okay. and you've got a book here, out in paperback now called keeping the republic, saving america by trusting americans. so what do you mean by that? do i have to trust all americans? because my understanding is there are about 47% who are parasites. (cheers and applause) can we trust each other? >> yeah, sure. and you know, i think the point, stephen, is that democracy really only works if people are allowed to make their own decisions. and i think a lot of folks with perfectly good intentions believe that you or i maybe we're just victims, you know, and we need them to page decision for us. we might pick the wrong mortgage or the wrong credit card or the wrong health care. we might pick the wrong light bulb, you know. >> stephen: uh-huh. >> so you know-- . >> stephen: we might buy paint that has lead in it. we might drive cars that have lead in it. we might live next to a nucle

exception in indiana. we maintain a stronger version of the do not call list. a lot of the states did fold into the federal do not call since they have the same established business exception. there are a number of states that still have a stronger do not call statutes. we maintain a do not call working group and i've got marguerite sweeney many states pulled together so we are active with our national association of attorneys general. when it comes to robocalls, indiana as another unique experience. we have banned the use of auto- dialers since 1988 recognizing the growing opportunities for scams. we have even banned the political calls. that has engaged a number of legal challenges, as you might have guessed. it has been successful up through the courts and the supreme court of india and that successfully arguing that the rights to privacy trump a political free speech to blast out tens of thousands of calls to hoosiers. it is subject to a federal case we want at the district court that is now in the seventh circuit court of appeals. i think there is opportunities there that indiana and

.s. senate in a close race in indiana told a at any time audience that children conceived in rape are still god's gift, and part of god's will. >> i believe that life begins at conception. the only exception i have for -- to have an abortion is in that case of the life of the mother. i just -- i struggled with it myself for a long time, but i cape to realize, life is that gift from god. and i think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that god intended to happen. >> god intended to happen. listen, rape, abortion, they are explosive flashpoint issues for the republicans. and this is one of the most costly and closely watched senate races in the country right now. remember that republicans want to gain control of the senate where democrats hold a slim majority. the tea party-backed mourdock was asked about his position on abortion. and when it came to pregnancies in cases of rape or inseft, as you heard, he said it was something, quote, god intended to happen. the backlash to that statement alone, regardless of what he meant by it, was immediate, it

. these pictures were sent to us by the county clerk's office in marion county, indiana, in indianapolis. we've been getting pictures of our blog from all sorts of people around the country of what early voting looks like where you live, which is really cool. please keep sending us stuff at maddowblog.com. the indianapolis, the crowds have apparently been so big this year that the county clerk says that early voting is up 49% over this same time frame in the last presidential election year. they're up 49% in early voting over '08, in indianapolis. wow. they are doing everything they can to deal with the crowds in that city. they've expanded early voting hours there, so people can vote there, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., seven days a week. early voting in indianapolis goes right up to noon on the day before election day. and that popularity of early voting in the state of indiana has to be driving one particular u.s. senate candidate quite nuts at the moment. >> i believe that life begins at conception. the only exception i have for -- to have an abortion, is in that case of the life of the m

with the question does he support the indiana republican senate candidate richard mourdock who said this last night. >> i think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that god intended to happen. >> this morning mitt romney decided to follow his campaign staff's advice and once again side with the insanity of the republican right wing and continue supporting the republican senate candidate who thinks rape is something that god intended to happen. a new "time" magazine poll of ohio likely voters shows president obama leading romney by 5 points. there is no better and a list of electoral college maps than charlie cook who says if obama carries ohio and wisconsin where he is ahead in most polling, he gets the 270 with one electoral vote to spare. so romney could sweep colorado, florida, iowa and new hampshire and still come up short. today, nate silver forecasts that on november 6th, president obama has a 68% chance of winning re-election and president obama will win 288 electoral college votes and mitt romney will win 250. richard wolf, i know you were watching

that's a very tough race. another great state of indiana may also be going through a shakeup because of comments made. >> the indiana comments. >> if someone gets pregnant during a rape at night because well. not a comment well received. >> a candidate who beat dick lugar. >> wright, who was ahead five or six points in the polls. >> what he was saying is that god doesn't make mistakes. yes, it was a horrible thing, but you know, god let that happen. that's the theme that christians believe, that it's god's will and is a horrible thing, but sometimes bad things happen. i think to take it for anything other than that i somehow that god wants people to be rape and is a complete mischaracterization of that comment. >> that's a fair clarification. however, it's also political. >> i understand that. estrin foretells the come of this is in the middle of the debate, we don't say exactly how you say which he said, i know it's real, but it seems to be, in my opinion, all favored on one side or the other. but that's another story. >> virginia, george allen consistently running through your four

senate candidate in indiana, richard mourdock who romney only this week endorsed in a tv ad, the indiana republican set off a firestorm in a debate last night with these comments about rape and abortion. >> i struggled with it myself for a long time but i came to realize life is that gift from god and i think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that god intended to happen. >> and they can just get along. monday's boca debate, "daily show" style. >> i congratulate him on taking out osama bin laden. drones are being used in drone strikes and i support that entirely. and feel the president was right. i want to underscore the same point the president made. i felt the same as the president did. i supported his action there. absolutely the right thing to do to have crippling sanctions. >> i think romney's leaning obama. >> good day. i'm andrea mitchell live in philadelphia today. the campaign carousel is spinning fast. the candidates whirling around and around the swing states and joining me now for our daily fix, chris cizilla, msnbc contributor and

in the last eight years. -- indiana. we have become the fiscal entity of the country and a member of the largest budget surplus we have ever had in our history. it will make it possible for us to strengthen our budget reserve and i believe we can cut taxes. you just said that we pay for things in indiana. ok. but when you are speaker of the house, for five of the six years that you ran the state house from indiana ran deficits. when daniels came into power on budgets you helped to write, indiana was $700 million in debt and had a deficit of $820 million. the facts are stubborn things. i would like to know, how are we going to mature and preserve the fiscal integrity of indiana? >> if you would have spent the last 12 years in india rather than in congress you would know your budget has to be balanced. i balanced and produced balanced budgets. i find it almost laughable that a united states congressman would lecture anybody about fiscal responsibility. you voted not once, not twice but five times congressman. you voted and the results increased our deficit by 200 billion, billion wi

an abortion appropriate came into a debate for indiana candidate for senate richard mourdock against democrat joe donnelly. they both say they're pro-life. richard mourdock said this. >> the i think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that is something that god intended to happen. >> eliot: some republicans backed off michigan quickly. mike pens has urged richard mourdock to apologize. and others say quote richard mourdock's comments damage all republicans especially romney as the fight for the women's vote intensifies. this could be a defining moment for romney and he should immediately denounce both murdoch and the comment. with the policy poll showing the lead to romney. with the race neck and neck, romney does not need the gender gap to come to the fore . andrea saul would only say governor romney disagrees with richard mourdock's comments, and they do not reflect his views. romney continued airing this richard mourdock endorsement the only ad he has released backing a senate candidate. >> i'm backing richard mourdock as senator. richard will be the 51st vote to repe

said a woman could naturally stop a pregnancy if she was raped. this is coming out of indiana. >> the candidates stood by his comments today during a news conference about all of this. and it happened last night in indiana between the republican senate candidate richard and democrat joe donly. richard was answering a question about abortion in the case of rape and here was what he had to say. >> i believe life begins at conception. the only exception i have to have the abortion is in the case of the life of the mother. i struggled with it myself for a long time. but i came to realize life is a gift from god. and even when life begins in the horrible situation of rape that it is something that god intended to happen. >> so now the reaction. the spokesperson for the romney campaign distanced themselves from the comments to day. but not the candidate. andrea put out an e mail saying governor romney disagrees with richard and his comments don't reflect governor romney's views. we disagree with the policies regarding exception for rape and incest but we support him. romney has endo

from indiana. here is his ad supporting him. >> romney: this fall i'm supporting richard mourdock for senate. richard worked with governor mitch daniels with the budget. he'll be the 51st vote to stop obama healthcare. and there is so much at stake, i hope you'll join me in supporting richard mourdock for u.s. senate. >> i'm richard mourdock. i approve this message. >> cenk: shouldn't we support richard mourdock. he was in a debate last night. he said something interesting. let's see if you support this. >> i realized that god is a gift from god. even when life begins in a horrible situation of rape it is something that god intenned to happen. >> cenk: god intended to happen? wow! well, how about paul ryan, he doesn't support this radical guy, does he? you can see where this is going--of course he does. he said, quote please, pleads send us richard mourdock. we need this man in the united states senate. now, he said that in in the september 17th fundraiser, of course. also another man running for united states senate--these are not podunk guys in local communities. these are not b

was set free? >>> a federal appeals court has ruled indiana cannot cut off medicaid funding to planned parents hood because the organization performs abortion. even if the money was ear marked for other health services. in today's ruling the court said the indiana law deprived the patient's rights? >>> michael brown is now fighting to hold onto his seat. there is over $100,000 missing from his campaign. he has all the endorsements plus a marijuana possession conviction. >>> here are the numbers today, 78 was the high. 52 was the low. average was 67 and 48. those were downtown temperatures. more snow out west and talk about sandy. it could become a hurricane. could affect your weekend. >> first a drug rules on a strip club request that it be exempt from paying sales tax because lap dances amount to art. ? >>> back now with a follow-up on the new york nightclub who wanted a tax break for its lap dancers. they argued their fees for admission should be exempt from sales tax. today they narrowly ruled that lap dances don't promote culture from the community. they should not be exempt? >>> w

-span. >> you know, indiana's made incredible progress in the last eight years. we've honestly balanced budgets during all those years. we've become the fiscal envy of the country, and now we have the largest budget surplus that we've had in our history. it's going to make it possible for us to strengthen our budget reserves, and i believe we can cut taxes for every hoosier. but, john, you just said that we pay for things in indiana, okay? but when you were speaker of the house, for five of the six years that you were running the statehouse indiana ran deficits. when mitch daniels came into power just a couple years later on budgets that you helped to write, indiana was $700 million in debt and had a deficit of $820 million. you know, john, facts are stubborn things, and i'd just like to know from my colleagues on stage how are we going to make sure and preserve the fiscal integrity of the state of indiana? >> congressman, if you'd have spent the last 12 years in indiana rather than in congress, you'd know that our budget has to be balanced. indiana, according to our constitution. i've balanced

on lake michigan northwest indiana residents being asked to stay away we are there live tonight and right now we're finding good reasons for that. i could stay away, you have to wear your sunglasses to the beach the beach right now is blowing right into my face it's like working in a stand plastered out here the best way to show you is take a look at our truck we haven't been here all that long a lot of localized flood warnings in effect till tomorrow and also a warning about getting too close to mother nature in northwest india and that it is one very dark and stormy night extremely high gas off the lake bringing down trees and power lines further inland and no serious or long-term outages but certainly a serious warning from local officials putting in long hours to keep residents out of harm's way. we have had a 80-20 ft. waves and there are a lot of people better curious about going down to the lakefront we have had a police patrol down there throughout the day. all day all along the lake the extreme weather has been drawing onlookers close but not too close to the water and up close v

, you know, memberbly was the tea party supported deeply conservative candidate in indiana who defeated dick lugar who failed to campaign, didn't even have a home address. that was a rough primary. and now you've got mourdock on the ropes but it's playing into the national race as well. >> it sure is, because the republican party and various candidates keep tripping themselves up on this very emotional issue of abortion. and i have to say, i thought what mourdock said was beyond stupid. it was actually cruel to think. if you think it's god's will that the baby's created as the pregnancy results from rape you have to think it was god's will you be raped and that's not my -- it's not a theological program, that's not my idea of religion. i do have to say it underscores the real intellectual problem that republican party and anti-abortion movement has with abortion. if you believe the fetus' life from the moment of conception, then it's particularly intellectually coherent. you're not going to say it's go's will, because that's offensive but it's intellectu intellectually coherent say you

state. we feel we have done a better job than a lot of organizations of covering stories in indiana, or kentucky, were nebraska, but we wanted to do more. by shifting half of the program, one of the hosts, some of the staff, to los angeles -- to the other coast, we're not in the middle of the country but it is a different perspective than washington, d.c. our colleagues in california are on a screen at their own table 3,000 miles away talking. they have a different perspective on things. things that seem important to us in washington seem irrelevant there. the reverse can be true. it is great to have a conversation back and forth. it adds to the fact that we have bureaus across the country with like chicago, we have full time people in new orleans for a couple of years after katrina, and having people in different places just really enriches the conversation and the range of stories you can do. >> one of your radio reports, so people can hear you, this is on the road. we will find out afterward.

immunization program. [applause] >> i have met with those people and i met with them in fort wayne, indiana at the food bank. you may be surprised. they did not ask those questions on those votes because they're glad that i took time out of my schedule to go down and talk about how we will get food bank going so they can be sure that a food bank goes into fort wayne, indiana. i have a very good record and the commitment to the core, to those -- to the poor, to those got a family. this administration and the george administration will be committed to eradicating poverty. poverty has not gone up in this administration. it has not gone down much either. that means in a big challenge ahead of us. but let me tell you something, what we have done for the poor. what we have done for the poor is we passed the homeless bill. the mckinney act deals with homeless. the congress has cut the funding for the administration -- the congress has cut the funding that the administration has recommended. the biggest thing we have done the poverty in america is t tax simplification act of 1986. 6 million working

[ minto ] you know,w, those ads saying mitt romney would ban all abortions and contraception seemed a bit extreme. so i looked into it. turns out, romney doesn't oppose contraception at all. in fact, he thinks abortion should be an option in cases of rape, incest, or to save a mother's life. this issue's important to me, but i'm more concerned about the debt i voted for president obama last time, but we just can't afford four more years.
